For those of you interested in how I make all my videos, I use Wondershare Filmora to edit my videos. I hire different researchers and writers for scripts and professional voice artists to create engaging content, use stock footage (both free and paid) and add visual effects that will leave you watching the channel for hours.
Thanks for watching and supporting our channel, we love you! 💛
A big thank you to the Australian scientists who created the cochlear implant. It has changed the lives of so many people around the world.
It might seem that American scientists and others work on Covid viruses while Australian scientists work on this type medical breakthrough.
Graeme Clarke was the Australian co inventor. To raise money to fund his research he spent years literally rattling cans collecting coin donations on the streets of Melbourne to get the funds to carry on. Great man.
Which makes his achievement even more impressive@@johnstirling6597
@@johnstirling6597 Graeme Clark is a wonderful human being.
I wish the world was full of people like that man. I try to live up to people like him.
Omg I don't know why I watch these videos I'm a 59 year old man and I cry just as much as all these incredible people hearing for the first time.
Wow 59? You are So old 😅😅😅
@@randomvintagefilm273 What's your point?
I know why
@@castor652 Zero emotional intelligence is the point. Kids don't use to be very clever.
wish you a long life. my grandmother passed away this year at 79...
After having severe hearing loss for over 20 years, i am FINALLY getting my implants activated this week and im beyond excited!!!
How are you getting on with them?
@muddydog6605 very well, thank you! It's still a big adjustment but the things I hear now that I've missed for years, is absolutely amazing
@@SayWhat81 This is exciting news! I’m extremely happy for you and I hope the adjustment period isn’t too long!
@@SayWhat81 what’s your favorite natural (animal, plant, or just general natural things, like rain, or the sound of ocean waves.) sound you have heard so far? If I was deaf and still had a love for birds, I can’t imagine what it would be like to hear the incredible diversity of bird sounds for the first time.
@spitfirebird rain, birds, even the wind. Its really amazing that I'm rediscovering the world of sound. Yesterday I went to the park and could actually heat a squirrel scurry up a tree.
I lost my hearing at the age of 32, now37 and after 2 surgeries am hearing my children laugh. Youdont realise hope precious sound is until you lose it.
These are very moving. My hearing had deteriorated for a very long time, and finally got hearing aids. A few days later, I heard a strange warbling sound, finally figuring out it came from outside a window. I stood there pondering a minute, then realized it was CRICKETS! I hadn't heard crickets in so long I'd essentially forgotten about their sound! What these people are experiencing is far more profound, and I am so happy for them.
I'm on the cusp of severely/profoundly deaf, & every day is a miracle when I put my hearing aids in & switch the world on!! 😍😍😍
the woman at 2:05 was the best. the way her eyes darted back and forth while her brain tried to process was priceless and beautiful.
Of all the clips, I'm actually most confused about that one. It says she has audio processing disorder, which I believe I also have, and now im curious how much of an instant, obvious difference hearing aids make to that disorder. -as it isnt deaf and not exactly even hard of hearing, but mostly being unable to process whats being said to you, especially when theres other noise going on.
@@kayleighbull8033 yeah I just got to that one and am confused by it too. Also got CAPD here and I can hear fine... just can't process when there is too *much* sound so not sure why that is there, unless the text is entirely wrong?
Man, these is the kind of triumphs by sweet people that bring tears to my eyes.
can you hand me a tissue if you got any left?
One of the greatest medical inventions in history was by “Professor Graeme Clark AC pioneered one of Australia’s greatest bioengineering achievements, the multi-channel cochlear implant, the first device to allow severely-to-profoundly deaf people to understand speech” Thank you Aussies
Thank you, mates.
I find these REALLY moving in that something we nearly all take for granted can be SO monumental for someone who hasn't had it.
Yeah, me too.
its not only that - you can see on their faces - they know they have missed out and been robbed of a basic skill set. that's why they shake their heads - at the loss... being without - compared to everyone else - its overwhelming
The thing to note is that when they hear for the first time they all smile. A smile is what the world needs now. It's almost a metaphor for the times. Do some good - not harm.
@2:06 this really choked me up! As a studied musician and audio engineer my whole life revolves around music. To see a person hearing music for the first time must be pure magic and overwhelming. 👍🏻
her eyes say it all
Yes but to be honest hearing with a cochlear implant is very differnt.
Music is such an important part of life as it ties into almost everything.. the got me also 😂 so happy for her.. I honestly couldn't imagine life without music never mind never being able to hear it. Technology is a blessing and a curse.
Music is the whole panel of feelings, it's pure art. I wonder what song she listened to.
What music was it?
This has to be the BEST job in the world. Imagine going home every day knowing that you've changes someone's life... ❤
I wish I could do something like this for people. These doctors truly are angels.
They do big bucks also.
I'd imagine you could be wonderfully helpful by volunteering for various organizations.
This magnificent lady with purple hair...spontaneously made me cry...I am very happy for her...long live research, long live medicine 😃
I’m surprised at how clearly they speak, having been deaf for so long. Their enunciation and diction is amazing.
I assume they haven't been completely deaf their whole life.
Many deaf people have some hearing
99% of deaf people aren't completely deaf, just like 99% of blind people aren't completely blind
@LexyThomas134 just like 99.9% of people make comments like yours, is totally stupid
That means they were not completely deaf
How great to have Job where you can see literal positive impacts you have on people’s lives.
Hearing is a glorious part of life. Temporarily I lost my 90% of my hearing due to an infection and the difficulties and sadness - being in silence when others in the family were talking and laughing. Going for a walk, silence (kinda nice) but in the store nothing. So very, very appreciative my hearing was restored. Truly hearing is a wonderful gift.
Something we take for granted that is overwhelmingly beautiful
The feeling of sunshine when you've always lived in the dark
I've had a mild hearing loss my whole life, so just getting hearing aides at age 55 and hearing very clearly made me cry! Love this video. :)
I met a gentleman in a market with the implants and I was so happy to know he could hear! I was thrilled to see how they work and he took the time to educate me on the implants!
but if you born with out any part of your hearing apparatus in your ear your not gonna hear. Once a person with hearing organs in their ear can hear after a life time of not hearing the work begins. Everything that that person is hearing must be explained , every noise, has to be taught on how to explain it to that person what they are hearing, same as to speaking .
What?
That must be one of the most fulfilling jobs ever. To see those people's faces light up like that and cry tears of joy.
Yes.
The things we take for granted. Others realize the miracle these senses are . Be thankful every day. Acknowledge your blessings. Strive to be worthy.
Those of us that have always been able to hear, take it for granted of course, so it's so nice to see these stories, thus making us feel thankful for the ability to hear on a daily basis.
I am 69 and can still hear pretty good and I thank god every day for the fact that i am fit and active , my heart goes out to those less fortunate than me.
This is one of few situations that make me happy, sad, laugh, cry all at once
I work at an elementary school that has a deaf-ed program. I LOVE the way that our school seamlessly integrates the deaf-ed kids with the general population. There is no stigma at all - and I love the way so many kids know at least some sign language. I loved this video!!!
This is where technology is used for amazing things. Wonderful.
I was about 9 years old when I first heard my dad's voice for the first time. I remember to communicate with my father by putting my ear up to his chest and listening to the vibration of his voice as he spoke to me. Truly was scary the first time when I woke up after surgery hearing everything for the first time. My heart goes out to you and yours. I truly understand this feeling*. Another funny story was that it was 3am and I had gone downstairs and turned on the TV full-blast and put my ear up to the TV. I look to my left and it's my dad coming down the stairs in his underwear with his hands over his ears grabbing me away from the TV lol. ;)P. Love you dad*. Thanks for never giving up on me*.
awwwh :)
Thanks for sharing your personal experience! I love watching these videos.
That was the only way I could hear my father's voice through his chest listening to his words carefully so I could be directed to the task at hand. It was hard growing up. Thankfully, I was born in today's time, medical advances. Had a lot of catch-up of language and school in general. By the time I was in grade 9. I was in a regular high school in a regular class. Had a lot of catch-up books and after-school programs from the government to get me caught up. I was a successful*. Now 36 years old, children of my own. I'll never forget waking up to sound!. ;)
@@randypiper7485 thank you for sharing your story! When you first heard words, did you understand what was being said? God bless you 🙏
@Sundayschoolnetwork I was just going through sign language for abit, but I could read lips in close proximity. Just not crazy fast. I would tell you to slow down if need be.
Was für ein Segen und wie unglaublich schön es für die Menschen ist . So sollte Wissenschaft angewendet werden , immer für den Menschen .😢😊😢😊
This is where technology really strikes good. Just incredible and emotional beautiful. So happy for these people.
Pure honest joy is the best emotion
When you see all the rubbish that comes from all sorts of technology isn't this just a beautiful use of it and worth so much more than all that junk from many places in the world. I think this is wonderful and more power to those that are giving hearing to those that have lost or never had it.
My heart is bursting…so beautiful to see this! How we take things for granted like hearing! Bless them all❤
It's amazing that the brain immediately knows what to do with this new input.
It’s an adjustment for the brain and the client but worth it. ❤
That amazes me, too!
i wish this video could sent to all engineer that support/create this hearing aid technology, to let them know they had made this world a better place for humanity, Loves You Guys, Keep on the good work, thanks 3000
Oh the little babies who get so confused, so sweet! Their little faces, you can see all their thought process. 🥰
For individuals that never could hear, I am impressed to know they understand vocal words. That's fascinating to me.
I think they (some of them at least) lost their hearing at some point, so they aren't really hearing for the first time ever, just the first time in a while
Exactly. Especially the girl at 3:10 (where I stopped watching).
Yes. I wondered about that. I'm a linguist, and understanding the spoken word is the most difficult skill to master in learning a language. Many of these people understood what was being said to them without seeing it written down or without even seeing the other person form the words. If they had never heard English at all, it would just be a bunch of meaningless noises.
If a man is deaf from the very beginning, there’s no way he can understand speech of the others, neither he can talk. How could he? If he has never heard the sound, his tongue can’t reproduce anything, because it never did. So yes, probably all these people were able to talk and hear, but lost it at some point. Good, that there’s way to fix it.
That's why the one kid at 22:48 didn't respond to the parents. He couldn't understand them.
My daughter's implant was turned on when she was 3. Leaving the facility, she kept signing "what's that noise?". Being next to a busy highway, we kept signing "cars" and pointing at the highway that was only about 30 feet from us. She kept signing "no" and looking around. Turns out, she could hear a bird chirping for the first time (since it's a high frequency noise) and the bird was about 20 yards from us in the opposite direction, across the parking lot (CHOA). She's now a sophomore in college studying to be an audiologist after double-lettering in high school in orchestra and a long stint as a state level dancer. Here's a kid that they said we'd never hear talk. I'll never get sick of these videos.
yes, it's such a divine experience to hear music ... please, all people with healthy ears: remember this
When the simplest things turn out to be gold.
At the age of 28 years old, being moderate to severe hard of hearing, as well as being tone deaf, I finally heard myself breathing, a bird sounds, the sound of a telephone ringing. I cried the first time I could hear supposedly at normal hearing range.
We who take hearing for granted can't imagine what this is like! I imagine it's like landing on a new planet, or experiencing a new Universe for the first time! So happy for all of them! If only we could do this for those born blind now too.🙏😮❤
I wonder how come adults, hearing for the first time have perfect accent when answering questions. ? interesting.
Because it's click bait. These people were not born deaf, but they lost their hearing at some point.
The best videos on the internet.heart warming .i dont know who cries more.them or me .
I had the same emotions running through me after having my cataract surgery on one of my eyes. It was the best feeling ever to be able to see my kids again. I'm currently still blind in 1 eye, but am so happy to see again, after 6 months of complete loss of vision. I'd imagine it would be the same feeling to get your hearing back
jay sri krishna.... Brother....u have god beside u❤
Who else wants to tell the group to stop all talking at once? Let a baby adjust to one person for a bit, it has to be so overwhelming.
Yes!
Imagine a whole new world is coming over you. This must be so stressful and overwhelming. 🥺
It is totally overwhelming, my Mum could not attend my Dads wake because of the noise from 70 odd people all talking at once. She had to go home and remove the implant. I cannot imagine what a baby or small child would endure with an onslaught of sound.
Yelling, clapping, banging… you can’t fix stupid, kid’s wishing he was still deaf.
Clapping loudly is probably not a great idea either, that has to be concusive, certainly at first.
I get that feeling every time I put my hearing aids in! It's impossible to explain how isolating deafness can be, to those who aren't deaf, yet people still make fun of the deaf, or get frustrated with those who ask them to repeat stuff, or speak up! I know, I live it every day of my life, and it's relentless!
Our senses are amazing and definitely not to be taken for granted! 😁
Good example of technology being used at right places ❤🎉 extremely happy to see where our technology is at!😊
So precious. thank you for the gift of hearing......bless❤to you all xx
Crying is either an expression of extreme sadness or extreme happiness. I love seeing people cry out of genuine happiness.
Touching. Able to hear and enjoy music is such a gift which most people take for granted.
I'm just as amazed at the doctors who don't cry. This turns me into a blubbering wreck. Good stuff.
Im with you Matt, i cry, i cant believe what these people are experiencing, it must be so weird for them
Must be so overwhelming for adults. Humans are incredible
I’m retired and 72 years old. I know I have some hearing loss but I’m very grateful for what I still have. I have my radio on all day long six hours maybe seven or eight or nine hours. I think of people who can’t hear. I need to win a big effing lottery because I want to help people. Music helps my anxiety and depression and I don’t know what I would do if I lost it.😊❤
I want to buy glasses for people who are also colorblind. I discovered they need a pair that they wear during the daytime and a separate pair that they wear at night.
I use these videos as a way of reminding myself I have feelings. The children are cute as hell, but it doesn't elicit as much of a reaction because they are still so new to the world. Watching the adults who have never experienced sound before is very powerful for me.
I got my ears blown out in the service. Cried like a baby when I got my hearing aids. I couldn't believe how much I was missing for so long. I couldn't hear most birds, my sisters voice, children's voices, or crickets. It was almost deafening at first and took a while to get use to. 66 years old. I love watching these videos. If you're one of those guys/gals wondering if you should get them, just do it, I held out for a long time, and missed a lot. You'll be amazed
These are SUCH precious, beautiful moments❤❤........ thank you very much for sharing them! Makes us extremely lucky people who have our senses count our blessings and teach us not to take things for granted!!!!❤❤
I remember when I got my first set of hearing aides I got home and stood in the driveway and just listened to the birds sing. My hearing had left gradually until I forgot what I was missing.
same for me, picking up things like a ceiling fan, birds and things in general....
When i was 9 I had gotten my first hearing aids. My parents took me to a pet store, I thought the chicks were way to load. now I am 47 and have had a cochlear implant for about 14 years
When I first took my battery loan pair home (waiting for my proper ones to turn up) I was sitting outside in the morning drinking tea and I said to my partner “I think these are going flat. I can hear little beep type noises”. He said “that’s the birds”. I couldn’t believe it. Was incredible.
2:28 Oh, man, It's hard to keep a dry eye when seeing someone break down - both happiness, and sadness realizing just what she's been missing her whole life (you notice the little children don't cry; they just smile).
This has to be one of the most rewarding jobs ever.
Oh this makes me cry with happiness for them all x God is good God bless all the doctors.
This makes it clear how many things we take for granted .... They are not taken for granted ... they are a valuable gift. And we hardly thank them.
In time these devices will become smaller , but blessings to these people
so nice. Thank you all for your service.
Just soo so great .. the joy they have ! Congrats n Continued Success 😎 Super work
The authentic reaction of the lady at 02:06 is so totally awesome and did completely overwhelm me. First her surprise, then the rapid eye movements where she was lost. Finally her realization that she can hear. Bombastic!!! I've been repeating the scene over and over again. Where can I see the full clip (about 10 minutes)???
Me too !!! (the video at 2:06) - - - I would like to watch the complete video clip, but unfortunately couldn't find it.
The things I take for granted. Amazing.
Im so happy for this people . So beautiful to see the smile on the faces from all this people big and litle . God blesses
It's utube streams like this one that humbles me so much!! Just imagine if we all could hold this reaction to these people hearing properly for the first time in there lives, And how education is so important to humanity, There deadecation, fortitude, I give my Gratitude to the people that made this happen,Scientists, Nurses, Doctors, Technicians, and Surgeons, God Bless you all 🙂🇬🇧🤧👍🙏🙏🙏
2:08...you can watch her brain trying to comprehend music. I can't imagine hearing for the first time, but for it to be to music? Overload, man.
From now on I'll give my charity donations to hearing research. The older people (especially the lady who heard music for the first time) who've lived a life in silence, didn't affect me - but now it does.
I love that the little ones can hear but it was fantastic watching the adults hear for the first time it was so emotional.
Imagine being a toddler and have the world kind of discovered. Then you get a new primary sense. Unreal
Genuinely puts a smile on my face.
How wonderful. I’m so happy for each person. Medical science is amazing.
What seems to be common in these is that there are no real words to describe what these people are feeling, the only natural human reaction is to cry, which makes me cry just watching there joy!
This is so brilliant and heartwarmng.....Its sublime!
It's surprising how clear their voices are if they've been deaf all their life
I think they sound like they've been able to hear all their lives, not deaf.
These doctors have the best work there is. You cant change my mind=)
Love these success stories. Thank you science ❤
Why don't these people who make such a "real" difference to peoples lives get the same accolades as sports personalities, actors, politicians. These marvellous people should be on pedestals.
Re: The one with the girl scared, Mom, take your mask off. Your baby heard the sound, but she couldn't see where it came from and got scared!
Amazing how simple sensory experiences can be so overwhelming the first time.
Beautiful...It takes a lot to make me cry, but...
OK, this makes me cry. I wish the best for all those people enjoying sounds for the first time.
Beautiful!! Hugs from Brazil!
Смотрю и плачу. Очень трогательно и мило. Всем желаю здоровья, счастья, любви, благополучия, мира, добра, всего самого доброго и светлого.❤
I go my first digital Bluetooth hearing aids in later age. I get truly depressed realizing how much I missed; it wasn’t just the language. It was everything around me; all the years of “deaf and dumb.” I was never truly tested until my early 30s. Analog hearing aids were pretty worthless. Saddest thing is I have had hearing loss since I was very young person. I didn’t even realize how much I was missing. It’s rather late in the game but I’m very glad I can somewhat hear most normal conversation now. And, I love that all these people are having this experience especially the younger ones. Science is a wonderful thing.
Much happiness to you❤
Thank you for posting this video. It is so wonderful to be able to watch something uplifting compared to all the trash usually posted. God bless you and much happiness to the people now have the gift of hearing.
This felt like an early Christmas present. Thank you!
That seems to be a common reaction to realizing you just got a new super power.
These doctors are the real heroes. Give people the ability to hear for the first time is an amazing accomplishment.
What a great job....to witness these beautiful moments
Amazing and of course very touching ...
The reaction of the lady who heard music through her hearing aid for the first time was amazing and sad all at the same time ❤
Must be one of the most rewarding Dr's jobs going!
I am glad to this people. Very glad and happy. 🌹 ❤
If you ever need to spontaneously cry , watch these wonderful videos . I'm so happy for all of you . 🎉❤🇨🇦
Thank you Graham Clarke.
even at 76 with my age related aches and pains....watching this makes me feel very lucky
